Celebrated for his exquisite cuisine and sought after for his cooking expertise, Jean-Claude was at the top of the culinary world. His descent from hobnobbing with the rich and famous into a life of homelessness and drug and alcohol addiction left him empty, hurting, and hopeless. Slowly, his life became filled with the more decadent ingredients, creating a future destined for loneliness and despair. But this is a story about redemption, about a life that was salvaged. Jean- Claude Mille invites you to settle in or a while as he shares his brand new recipe for living, with ingredients purchased by God.
